Hmmm, nope. Not in this case. Upset, irritated, perturbed -- yes.
Incidentally, my focus is on my S's, and xW knows the only way to get to me now is through them. For me to take my focus off of what xW does to irritate me would require me to ignore what happens with my kids -- not gonna' happen.
I have set my boundaries with her -- most of which are in areas that involve our children. Unfortunately, she has shown a predilection to overstepping those bounds from time to time, so the most I can do is to manage my own reaction to those offenses. For me, I have to accept that as the lay of the land now -- since she feeds off of the drama, I can't really do anything about her except to vent here in these forums, maybe. Only if she does something illegal or outside of our parenting agreement can I take it any further. That's just the way it is.
This is merely the cost of trying to co-parent with someone like xW. Otherwise, life is a-okay.
